Mercedes AMG Classic

Yeah, KE lasted until '92 in the R129, but of course LH-119s were intro'd in late 1991 with the advent of the 500E.

Definitely a loc'd out example tho...

I'd ditch all of that underhood plastic that impedes airflow around the motor in that already limited space :ugeek:

Also I'd be all over measuring the displacement on that pup with a micrometer if necessary, to confirm that it's really a sixer.

[quote="bondavi"]My car (a midyear 1992 400E model) in late 1992 got a 1993 R129 5.0L LH engine (likely because all 400E's originated as LH cars) then given the 6L treatment.

So a 6.0 car based on a 300E (cis) or 400E (LH) apparently had certain discretion practiced in what motors were put in...[/quote]

Look forward to seeing/hearing more of this gem. It was a tough one to pass up.

^^ Affirmative. The car above is a 1991, apparently. KE lasted through 1992. My car (a midyear 1992 400E model) in late 1992 got a 1993 R129 5.0L LH engine (likely because all 400E's originated as LH cars) then given the 6L treatment.

Bondavi's car is an LH-injected M119, not the early KE.

bondavi has something similar.

I'm not sure if its available to the public, looks like a Japanese dealer auction.

I know that but does anyone know of what the website to these auctions are?
